Today’s quilter has access to an endless selection of quilting notions including rulers, templates, marking pens, cutting tools and threads to mention simply a few. As the time to make a new quilted item approaches it may seem tricky to know what materials to choose and where to begin. A new quilting ruler named the Double Diamond Ruler is a good place to begin.

You can add a diamond-shaped ornamentation to any project when you use a Double Diamond Ruler. Prior to the invention of the Double Diamond Ruler it was quite cumbersome to make a diamond pattern. Previously you would have had to make a pattern onto fusible interfacing, iron it onto the fabric and then clip the lines you drew with a pair of scissors. Talk about time consuming! Thanks to the Double Diamond Ruler this is no longer the case.

With two sizes available the Double Diamond Ruler now helps you easily make both 1 1/2″ and 3 1/2″ wide diamonds. Utilize the 1 1/2″ Double Diamond Ruler to create an eye-catching eyeglass case or shoulder strap for your purse. Add distinctive, dimensional diamonds to a wall hanging, table runner or even table topper utilizing the 3 1/2″ Double Diamond Ruler.

Once you have determined what size Double Diamond Ruler works best for your project you will need to pick out 3 quality fabrics to work with: a contrast fabric, background fabric and main fabric. Solid color cloths work best but the diamonds do not display well when you utilize large prints. Nonetheless, small prints can produce an intersting effect.
